Real name is Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe - biography of the great actress But still learned

Biography of Marilyn Monroe. Childhood. 1926 - 1933.

Name: Marilyn Monroe

Original name: Marilyn Monroe

By the age of twenty-four, Gladys had been married and divorced twice. So she gave birth to Marilyn, being completely free from marital obligations. At this time, she had many affairs and, most likely, it was for this reason that no one ever learned the name of Marilyn’s father.

By the time Marilyn was born, her half-brother and sister had already lived with their father for several years. Marilyn never saw her half-brother; he died at fifteen summer age, and she will see her sister for the first time when she is 12 years old.

Since her birth, Marilyn has never known happiness family life, although throughout her childhood she was supervised, shod, clothed and did not go hungry.

At the age of two weeks, her mother gave her up to the Bolender foster family and only occasionally took her away on weekends to go to the beach or take the girl to the movies.

Until the age of seven, Norma, the star’s name from birth, lived in such a orphanage family type.

Usually the Borlanders had five or six children at a time, so the star’s childhood was spent in strictness and order. In addition, the Bolenders were very pious, which determined the Puritan way of the family.

Norma’s grandmother, Della, lived in the house opposite the Bolenders. One day Della came to the Bolendars to visit her granddaughter, the door was closed and she, worried, broke the glass to get into the house. The Bolenders returned home and called the police. Based on this incident and another story from Marilyn that Della allegedly tried to suffocate her with a pillow at the age of one, there is an opinion that Monroe's grandmother was crazy.

However, Della’s medical record from the hospital, where she died at the age of 51 from heart failure, does not contain a single record of her insanity; moreover, she never even consulted a neurologist or psychiatrist. So the stories about the generic madness of Marilyn’s family are most likely inventions of reporters with the tacit consent of the star to raise the interest of viewers and readers in the person of Marilyn Monroe. In the key to the madness of the Monroe family, it is enough to remember her great-grandfather, who hanged himself at the age of 82, and her grandfather, who died at the age of 43 with signs of madness.

In order to ignore these cases, it is enough to understand how this happened.

Monroe's grandfather hanged himself after going bankrupt in anticipation of the confiscation of the farm, and his father's insanity was caused by a special syphilis virus, so there was no curse or generic madness.

The only one in the Monroe family who really spent many years in psychiatric hospitals was Monroe’s mother, Gladys, who between treatment in clinics managed to get married again, and in the photographs of 1946 she does not look mentally ill.

Even Monroe herself doubted her mother’s insanity, although she paid for her treatment all her life.

Be that as it may, Marilyn, aka Norma, lived with her mother for only a year.

It was at the age of seven that Gladys took her from the Bolenders, bought a house in installments and sent the girl to school.

At this time, Marilyn's mother led a rather cheerful and dissolute life, changing gentlemen and drinking in the company of her walking friend Gladys.

Marilyn Monroe is the legendary sex-appeal of America in the 50s of the last century, who equally drove ordinary workers and presidents crazy. Her film roles, which were never recognized by the Academy (the Hollywood film star was never nominated for an Oscar), are known to the whole world: “The Seven Year Itch” (directed by Billy Wilder), “Bus Stop” (Joshua Logan), “The Prince and the Showgirl” /extra” (Laurence Olivier), “Some like it hot/Only girls in jazz” (Billy Wilder)… The life, work and mysterious death of the most unsurpassed blonde of the era still interests her many fans.

Childhood and family

If there was one Hollywood star who had a childhood that you don't want to remember, it was Marilyn Monroe. Born on June 1, 1926, in an orphanage at a Los Angeles hospital, throughout her life she never found out for certain who her natural father was. The new mother, Gladys Pearl Monroe, named her daughter Norma Jeane, and listed her father as her second husband, Martin Mortenson, whom she left before she even found out about the pregnancy.


In some sources, Gladys’s first husband, John Nathan Baker, is listed as the parent, but by this time the newborn’s mother had long been divorced. At baptism, Norma received his last name. Subsequently, another version of paternity arose, repeatedly voiced by Norma’s mother. She claimed that she gave birth to her from Charles Stanley Gifford, with whom she had a short affair while working at the Consolidated Film company.

But no one took such statements seriously, as Gladys’s hereditary disease began to progress, for which she was increasingly treated in a Norwalk psychiatric hospital. The woman feared for her mental health because she believed that she had inherited the “bad genes” of her father, Otis Monroe. When her father died, her mother, Della Monroe, declared him mentally ill. In fact, the man died due to cerebral syphilis, which he contracted while working in Mexico in unsanitary conditions.


After the death of her husband, Della led a very frivolous life and neglected her parental responsibilities. Gladys inherited a similar attitude towards family life and parenthood. She married her first husband at the age of 14 (he was 26), over the next two years she became a mother twice, but quickly lost interest in both her husband and the children who remained to live with their father.

Gladys moved to Hollywood and got a job at a film studio as an assistant editor, working under the supervision of Grace McKee. They became friends and rented an apartment together. Gladys married Martin Mortenson, who, as mentioned above, is Marilyn's most likely biological father, but after 4 months she filed for divorce and returned to Grace's apartment.


So, on the morning of June 1, 1926, a girl was born who was destined to become the brightest film star of the 20th century. Gladys was not going to take on the heavy burden of motherhood this time either. In those years, it was a common practice in the United States for poor people to send their children to wealthy families. Guardians received social payments from the state, and children grew up warm and well-fed. Della advised Gladys to give the newborn Norma to be raised by the family of Ida and Albert Bolender, who were already raising two relatives and one adopted child.


The Bolenders were not wealthy, but they were not poor either. Receiving $25 a week for Norma, the couple honestly performed their duties as guardians. Gladys sometimes came to the baby, took her for a walk, bought ice cream and returned it to the Bolenders, pious and strict people who forbade any entertainment in their house. More than anything else, Norma looked forward to her mother's visits - she, at least, allowed herself to be called “mom,” unlike the distinctly cold Aunt Ida.


Little Norma's only outlet was a stray dog ​​named Tippy. The Bolenders allowed the girl to keep the pet when she promised that she would take care of it herself. But shortly after Norma's 7th birthday, Tippy was shot and killed by the Bolenders' enraged neighbor because of her loud barking. After this incident, Gladys took Norma to her rented apartment.

It would be naive to believe that this incident will force Gladys to become a good mother. Norma was left to her own devices, went to school, but quickly fell into the category of laggards. Very soon, Gladys, meanwhile, lost a large part of her monthly income - her great-grandfather, with whom the woman had a good relationship, and the old man regularly sent her money. Gladys’s own salary was tiny, and then her daughter demands to eat... The woman fell into hopeless depression and after several attempts to end her life she was placed in the Cedars of Lebanon psychiatric hospital, from which she never left.


Little Norma was saved from the shelter by Grace McKee, Gladys's friend from the film studio. She obtained guardianship, and a bright streak came in the girl’s life. Grace showered Norma with gifts, bought her beautiful dresses and never tired of repeating how beautiful she was. But the fairy tale came to an end when Grace married Erwin Goddard, and her chosen one brought his daughter from his first marriage into the house. Grace insisted that Norma stay with them, but her new husband earned so little that they could not provide for two children. There was no longer a place for their adopted daughter in their home.


Norma ended up in a shelter. Grace visited her regularly every Saturday. When the girl turned 11, McKee took her from the orphanage. One evening, while Grace was at work, Erwin got drunk and tried to rape Norma. Grace returned just as he crushed the girl with his body and tried to remove her clothes. A scandal broke out, and Norma, whom Grace was jealous of her husband, also suffered. The memory of this incident left the victim with a stutter.


Norma's situation deteriorated sharply. She found a distant relative, Ida Martin, who was the future actress’s great-aunt. Grace, with a light heart, let Norma go to her relatives and even tossed Ida a dollar or two to support the “problem” teenager, because the woman was already raising three grandchildren. But problems really soon appeared: Ida caught Norma having “forbidden pleasures” with another grandson.

This is how Norma ended up in the family of Anna Lower, Grace's aunt. The woman did not have children of her own, so she poured all her unspent love on Norma. Anna was not embarrassed by her ward’s poor academic performance; she believed that it was enough for a girl to learn to read and write, and beauty and charm would certainly help her get settled in life. Norma's passion was cinema - she spent all her pocket money on going to the movies.


Alas, Anna was seriously ill, and on her 15th birthday, Norma had to return to Grace's family and her rapist husband. This was the end of her misadventures: Erwin ignored his stepdaughter and did not remember the incident, Norma became close to his daughter Bebe, and also began working on eliminating her stuttering, which took her three years.

Youth

Poverty and loneliness, which accompanied the girl from birth, left an imprint on her entire future fate.


Not out of great love, but out of melancholy that settled in her soul, sixteen-year-old Norma accepted the proposal of 20-year-old James (Jim) Dougherty (according to various sources - either an aircraft factory worker or an undertaker), hoping in family life to find the stability and care she so desperately lacked. The new husband gave her neither one nor the other and soon went to sea with the merchant fleet. America was at war, and Norma, never finishing school, got a job at an aircraft plant, mainly because it was close to home.


In 1944, war photographer David Conover came to the plant to shoot a series of inspiring images for a military magazine. And he radically changed the orphan’s gray life.

Struck by the sexual magnetism of the charming “simple girl,” the photographer paid her $5 for an hour of posing. He sent the photographs to modeling agencies, and soon Norma graced the covers of numerous magazines.


1946 brought her her first contract with the film studio 20th Century Fox, a divorce from Dougherty, and a complete change of appearance and name: Norma became Marilyn. From past life Only the mother's maiden name remained - Monroe.


Film career

The luxurious platinum blonde with an inimitable smile and alluring gaze starred in her first episodic roles. The films were frankly weak and passable, but the aspiring actress rejoiced at every opportunity to learn acting. Monroe dreamed of playing real, dramatic roles and took private lessons from emigrant Mikhail Chekhov, a Russian actor who had previously served at the Moscow Art Theater. Along the way, she studied at Lee Strasberg's acting studio in New York, and read Russian classics on Chekhov's advice.


Alas, directors mercilessly exploited the image of a dim-witted but attractive sex bomb, and Marilyn starred in “Love Nest” (1951), “Clash in the Night” (1952), “Niagara” (1953). Her role in the films “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “How to Marry a Millionaire” (both filmed in 1953) brought her universal admiration and overwhelming popularity. Against the backdrop of unprecedented success, crowds of fans and daily declarations of love, Marilyn remained internally lonely, fearing disappointment from young Norma.


In 1956, Monroe starred opposite John Murray in the melodramatic comedy Bus Stop and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for the first time in her acting career. Then the actress worked in the joint British-American project “The Prince and the Showgirl” (1957). Her partner and at the same time the director of the film was Laurence Olivier.

And again Monroe was among the nominees (now at the British Film Academy) as best foreign actress, but... the prize went to Simone Signora. And only after the film “Some Like It Hot/Some Like It Hot”, American film critics finally recognized her as the best comedic actress and in 1960 Marilyn received her first ever cinematic prize – the Golden Globe for her role as Darling.


Monroe still received the very dramatic role that she had dreamed of for so long. The actress played practically herself: a desperate divorced woman, disillusioned with men, traveling with two cowboy friends in the hope of finding work. She starred in the film “The Misfits” (1961) together with the spectacular Montgomery Clift and the still charismatic Clark Gable, for whom this work, like for Marilyn, turned out to be the last in the cinema.

Personal life of Marilyn Monroe

Having avoided serious dates for a long time, in 1954 the actress finally decided to get married a second time. Her chosen one was a Sicilian emigrant, major league baseball player Joe DiMaggio. Narcissistic and himself accustomed to the worship of fans, DiMaggio could not come to terms with the incredible popularity of his wife. The marriage did not last even a year. Joe's destructive jealousy, especially after Monroe's filming in The Seven Year Itch (1955), which everyone remembers from the flowing dress episode, led to an assault scandal and subsequent divorce.

Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch

In 1956, the actress married the playwright and intellectual recognized in America, Arthur Miller, for the third time. Their mutual interest arose much earlier, however, serious relationship began only when Marilyn divorced DiMaggio, and Miller’s marriage was on its way out. The wedding ceremony was modest, with only relatives and close friends among those invited.


Despite her professional success, some kind of evil fate hung over the most luxurious blonde in America regarding her family life, which failed for the third time. All the men with whom Marilyn Monroe officially decided to connect her fate practically idolized their chosen one before the wedding. As soon as they became husbands, they seemed to forget what kind of woman they were living with and tried with all their might to remake her “for themselves,” to make Marilyn an ordinary earthly woman.


A third divorce in 1961 plunged Marilyn into desperate depression. She failed to create a strong and happy family, which she had dreamed of since childhood. What remains is the cinema, the love of the public, fleeting novels and... alcohol, which she used to wash down her sleeping pills.

Death

On May 29, 1962, America celebrated the 45th birthday of its youngest president, John F. Kennedy. The gala at Madison Square Garden was announced with a stirring “Happy Birthday, Mr. President, Happy Birthday to you.” A beautiful woman congratulated her beloved from the stage and, as she thinks, loving man. Soon her most cherished dream will come true, she will have the most wonderful family, she will become the most unique First Lady of the United States!

Marilyn Monroe - Happy Birthday Mr. President

...Such thoughts and even statements were attributed to Marilyn Monroe, whose charm, sexuality and sincerity even the president of the country could not resist. What actually happened, the direct participants in the drama unfolding in those days will no longer tell. One can only guess what storms raged in the soul of Jacqueline Kennedy, the official wife of the president, what role the president’s brother Robert played in the quick outcome, and what John Kennedy himself was silent about. The cherished dream was not destined to come true anyway.


Two months have passed since my birth. On August 5, Marilyn's maid called the police because she was unusual in seeing light in her mistress's windows after hours. The police found the actress in the bedroom with a telephone receiver in her hands and recorded her death. In the doctor’s report, which later gave rise to many versions of Marilyn Monroe’s death, it was written: “Probably suicide.” But the personality of the alleged suicide is such that neither journalists nor her fans could believe the official version.

Rumors arose about the involvement of the Kennedy clan in the death of everyone's favorite, as well as the mafia and intelligence services, driving her to suicide by Monroe's personal psychologist. The mysterious death of the actress haunted researchers of all stripes; books were written about her and films were made. At the age of only 36, the talented and beautiful Marilyn Monroe passed away with her last words from an interview with Richard Maryman: “I beg you, don’t make me funny.”


P.S. An Unforgettable Legacy

The image of Marilyn Monroe began to be exploited almost immediately after her death. Thousands of women around the world to this day try to be like her, at least externally, since few people manage to understand the inner world of the actress, even Hollywood imitators, starting with Jayne Mansfield and ending with Scarlett Johansson.

In 2008, documentarian Patrick Jedi created the film “Marilyn Monroe. Last session." The investigation is also carried out in the journalistic documentary film “Evidence from the Past. Marilyn Monroe" (2017). Many artistic films have been created, in one of which, “7 Days and Nights with Marilyn” (2011), the fatal blonde is played by Michelle Williams. For this role, the actress received a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination.

Marilyn Monroe, also known as Norma Jean Mortenson (real name) and Norma Jean Baker (baptismal name), was born on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles. She was an actress, singer, and also a sex symbol of the 1950s. She was desired by every man, was a role model for women, many people knew Marilyn Monroe’s filmography by heart, and various film companies invited her to act in films for huge fees.

  • Real name: Norma Jeane Mortenson
  • Years of life: 07/1/1926 – 08/5/1962
  • Zodiac sign: Cancer
  • Height: 166 centimeters
  • Weight: 56 kilograms
  • Waist and hips: 58 and 91 centimeters
  • Shoe size: 38 (EUR)
  • Eye and hair color: Blue, blonde.

As mentioned above, Norma was born in Los Angeles. The name of the girl's mother is Gladys Pearl Baker (before her marriage she bore the surname Monroe), born in Mexico and was a film editor. Gladys's parents were from Europe: her mother and grandmother Marilyn were from Ireland (Della Monroe), and her grandfather was from Scotland (Otis Monroe).

Absolutely nothing is known about Marilyn Monroe's biological father. All that can be noted is that her mother was married to Martin Edward Mortenson, which is why he was listed on the birth certificate. Gladys and Martin were a long-broken couple, but they did not officially divorce, which is why the mother of the future sex symbol had so many lovers.

In general, there is a lot of discussion about who was Marilyn Monroe's father. For example, Mortenson was actually Mortensen, and the surname was distorted due to an error in documents when Martin emigrated from Norway.

Monroe herself said that her mother once showed her a photograph of a certain Charles Stanley Gifford, who was a traveling salesman. The mother stated that this man was the girl's biological father. In addition, Marilyn Monroe reported that in appearance this man in the photograph was very similar to Clark Gable, who was a sex symbol in the 30s, and also a famous movie star (he was called the “King of Hollywood”).

In general, Monroe was not at all happy child and experienced a lot of grief. Her mother had financial as well as mental problems. Mental problems are a completely different story. Monroe's grandfather died in a psychiatric hospital. The grandmother tried to strangle Marilyn in infancy, after which she went there too.

Marilyn Monroe was Gladys' third child. Because of the problems described above, she gave two-week-old Marilyn to her grandmother's neighbors, the Bolender family. The girl lived with them until she was 7 years old. And in the fall of 1933, Gladys arrived and took her daughter to her place. But just a couple of months after the move, Marilyn’s mother began to have serious mental problems, as a result of which she was admitted to a mental hospital in 1934. According to some versions, she went crazy because her daughter was raped by her partner. However, the reality of this story has not been confirmed.

After this, Marilyn Monroe lived with Grace McKee. This woman was a friend of her mother. A little later, McKee filed for guardianship of Monroe. Together with Grace, the girl began going to cinemas and experimenting with cosmetics, and then her guardian said that someday Marilyn would become a movie star.

In 1935, Grace McKee married Erwin Goddard. Erwin worked periodically and, in the end, the family had no money left to feed Marilyn. As a result, the girl ended up in a shelter. She lived there for 2 years, after which Grace took her in again. At the time, the family was living with Erwin's daughter from his ex-wife.

The quiet life did not last long. Soon, her stepfather, who was intoxicated, attempted to rape 11-year-old Marilyn Monroe (or maybe raped him), which is why Grace had to send Marilyn to Olivia Brunings, who was her cousin. But there a repeat of the nightmare awaited the girl - Olivia’s son tried to rape her. For this reason, Marilyn had to move again in 1938. Another aunt, Ani Lowe, became her new guardian.

As Marilyn Monroe herself said, the 4-year period of life with Ani Lowe was the calmest. Unfortunately, due to her aunt's health problems, the girl had to go back to Grace in 1942.

As soon as Marilyn moved back in with Grace, the family made plans to move to the East Coast. Marilyn decided to choose a different path: she became the wife of James Dougherty, with whom she had an affair. Soon she moved in with him and dropped out of school. By the way, Dougherty claimed that Marilyn Monroe was still a virgin at that time, which casts doubt on all facts of rape.

A year after their marriage, Marilyn Monroe was forced to go to an aircraft factory, and her husband to the merchant marine. In 1945, a fateful event happened. At the plant where Monroe worked, an army photographer showed up, who, on behalf of the future US President, Ronald Reagan, took campaign photographs of women. After filming, the photographer offered to pose for Monroe for a fee, and she agreed. It was after this event that Marilyn decides to quit her job at the factory and become a model.

And so ended Marilyn Monroe's youth. Unfortunately, it was full of negative events. But this is precisely what led her to future worldwide fame.

Career

After Marilyn left the factory, she went to a modeling agency, and at the same time changed her image: she dyed her hair blonde (her natural color is chestnut), and also straightened her hair (Marilyn Monroe was curly in her youth). Soon after this, the girl began to gain popularity - her photographs appeared on the covers of many magazines.

And so, in 1946, she was hired as an extra by a film company. It was there that she became Monroe Marilyn. She named herself after Marilyn Miller, a film star of the 20s. Due to her desire to become an actress, she divorced her husband that same year.

Marilyn Monroe received her first role in 1947 (although she was very tiny) in the movie “Dangerous Years.” The actress received her first major role in 1948, in the film “Chorus Girls.” After that, she signed a seven-year contract with the film company "Twentieth Century Fox", and in addition one of several main roles in the film "The Asphalt Jungle".

According to some versions, she received a seven-year contract thanks to an affair with Johnny Hyde, who was a Hollywood agent. According to this version, Johnny gave Marilyn money for plastic surgery, and also convinced the film company to sign a contract with the girl.

In addition, Marilyn did not stop working as a model. In 1949, she posed nude for the first time. It was a photo shoot for a calendar. In 1953, these photos were included in one of the first issues of Playboy magazine.

Marilyn Monroe was also given roles in “Ladies of the Corps de Ballet” in 1949, “Thunderball” in 1950, “All About Eve” in the same year, “In Home Town” in 1951, “We Are Not Married” in 1952. Complete Filmography with Marilyn Monroe totals 30 films (1947-1962).

The film company used Marilyn Monroe solely because of her appearance. She always played the roles of empty-headed but charming girls. Naturally, Marilyn did not like this, which is why she enrolled in drama school and also began taking performance lessons from Mikhail Chekhov (nephew of Anton Chekhov, the Russian writer). More than once, the movie star stated in interviews that she wanted to take part in the filming of more serious works, but, unfortunately, no attention was paid to her efforts, although many directors stated that Marilyn Monroe had undeniable talent.

In 1953, Marilyn Monroe's external image became irrevocably fixed: blonde hair, pale skin, dark eyebrows in the form of arches and a spot on the left cheek. In the same image, she played in the noir “Niagara” (noir is a Hollywood crime drama of the era of the 40s and 50s, when pessimistic tendencies and oppression reigned in America after the war). There was a lot of excitement about this film: many considered the film immoral, others considered it a masterpiece. But the fact that the film was incredibly popular remains.

In the same year, the film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” was released, in which two sex symbols of those times played at once: Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. The film's budget was $7 million. The fees amounted to 12 million, that is, almost twice as much. The film was mega-popular, like the previous one.

And in the same 1953, another film starring Marilyn, “How to Marry a Millionaire,” was released. The film's budget was very modest (almost $2 million), but the box office receipts paid for the film more than fourfold (they amounted to $8 million).

Marilyn Monroe continued to play the role of seductive fools, to her disappointment. Viewers point blank do not see acting talent and skill in her. Everyone still associates her with Darling (“Only Girls in Jazz”), but this was the peak of the film actress’s creativity...

Personal life of Marilyn Monroe

The actress was not married for 8 years. Only in 1954 did she marry one of the best baseball players in history, Joe DiMaggio. However, Marilyn's new husband was very jealous and against this background he often raised his hand against the movie star. Because of all this, the marriage did not last long - they divorced in the same year (to be more precise, this marriage lasted about 9 months). But, even despite all Joe’s assault, he loved Monroe very dearly.

In 1950, Marilyn Monroe met Arthur Miller, a playwright. After a short conversation they had to part ways. Their new meeting took place in 1955, after which a romance broke out, and in 1956 they got married. This marriage turned out to be the longest of all the stars had, but not the happiest.

Monroe always wanted a man like Miller, but he considered her childish. On top of that, Marilyn Monroe dreamed of having children, but she either couldn’t get pregnant or the pregnancy was unsuccessful. Monroe and Miller separated in 1961.

There are also rumors of a romance between Monroe and John Kennedy, who was US President from 1961-1963. But they have no official confirmation.

Did Monroe have children?

Despite the fact that Marilyn always wanted children, her career, as well as early abortions, did not allow her such luxury. As a result, children were a sore subject for Monroe. According to rumors, this may be due to the fact that at the age of 15, Monroe gave birth to a child due to rape and handed him over to an orphanage. But this is unlikely to be true.

Moreover, in 2000, a man appeared who called himself Joseph Kennedy. He claimed to be the son of Marilyn Monroe and Kennedy. However, he was just an impostor, because he demanded all the property left after the death of his “mother.”

End of the road

It all started after Marilyn was unable to give birth to a child in her marriage to Arthur Miller. In 1959, on the set of Some Like It Hot, Monroe was completely unstuck. She was late for filming, didn’t remember the words, and had tons of unsuccessful takes. Rumors spread that the actress began to go crazy, repeating the fate of her ancestors. But in the next 2 years the situation improved a little. Unfortunately, not for long.

In 1961, after the end of her marriage to Miller, Marilyn Monroe locked herself in her home, stopped eating and constantly used sleeping pills and then drugs. The movie star began to fade. As a result, she ended up in a mental hospital in February of the same year, where she spent about a month.

The culmination of her work was the film “The Misfits”. The actress was dying before her eyes: her hair became like straw, she could not get out of bed, she was hellishly absent-minded, her condition was almost comatose. Make-up artists had to put a lot of effort into making her look like the same Marilyn Monroe.

By the way, in the film she played with Clark Gable, who was written about almost at the very beginning. This actor also did not have long to live - he abused alcohol heavily. This led to Gable's death some time after filming ended.

And Marilyn didn’t have long to live either... After filming, she again ended up in a mental hospital. Joe DiMaggio was able to get her out of there, because only he, as already said, truly loved Marilyn Monroe.

The actress needed to star in one more film, Something's Gotta Give. The film was never completed, as Monroe barely appeared on set, and in total only 7 minutes of usable film were shot with her.

Marilyn's condition kept getting worse... The greatest sex symbol of the last century passed away in August 1962. Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her own home. She was only 36 years old. According to one version, the actress died from an overdose of sleeping pills. The causes of death are still unclear. There are 3 versions of her death: suicide, murder, and suicide by accident. And according to one version of the murder, Marilyn Monroe was eliminated by Kennedy's agents so that her connections with the US President would not be revealed.

The only one of all the husbands who came to Marilyn Monroe's funeral was Joe DiMaggio. This man was sincerely devoted to the great film actress, who will remain alive in the hearts of people for many decades to come.
